Posted in: Madison Park
 
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
 
When and where will classes take place?
 
The first class in the series will be a self-guided recorded webinar. Participants who register for the class will receive a link to access the webinar during the week of Sept. 18th. Participants are required to watch the webinar as it is an introduction to the class series.
The remaining 5 classes will be held at the Mecklenburg Cooperative Extension Office from 12 noon - 1:30 pm on Tuesdays in October 2018.
 
Are participants required to attend all 6 classes?
 
Med Instead of Meds is a series of workshops. The instructor will cover different content related to topic in each class. Handouts are available, but comprehensive reviews of the material are not provided.
Partial registration is not available. The registration fee covers the cost of materials for the total series.
 
Why are classes held during the lunch hour?
 
Over the past year, your local Extension office conducted a survey, spoke with citizens and analyzed participation rates from previous classes. The results indicated that citizens are more likely to attend classes during the lunch hour than evenings or mornings.
 
Why does the registration link redirect to the Mecklenburg Parks and Recreation eParks website? Is this an error?
 
No. It is not an error.
NC Cooperative Extension has an office in each one of the 100 counties in NC, including the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians. Our county partners provide imperative support to make our services available to the community. Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation and NC Cooperative Extension, Mecklenburg Center have a unique partnership of 15+ years that allows for extension of the research-based knowledge into our community.
 
What opportunities are available for persons who can not afford the registration fee? Can participants pay per class?
 
Partial registration is not available. However, a limited number of scholarships are available to participants who demonstrate a financial hardship. Scholarships are available per request at Kristin_Davis@ncsu.edu.
